Pytanie Catzilla Auto-Blocked By Firewall

Well I didn't get to factory restore my router, however today I checked at 9:30PM EST and I'm able to access Catzilla's Website and Leaderboards via the the Catzilla Application/Program.

Previously across my entire internal network, I was unable to access Catzilla on any devices unless bypassing my Firewall and Router. I don't know why it's working again but I'll update if issues persist.

I'm back already at 10PM EST. I ran the Benchmark just one single time and now the issue returned.

I'm guessing now that the issue is actually NOT with my Firewall/Router, but with my Public IP. Bypassing my Firewall/Router would have given my PC a completely new Public IP, which would have worked. Thankfully I work for my Local ISP so I can easily test this and assign myself a new IP whenever I'm able. Again I'll keep you posted.

Edit: I forgot to add that the reason I had to create a Forum Thread for any of this is because I, like many others from what I'm seeing, am unable to Submit anything via the Catzilla Support page at catzilla.com/support

It appears I was unfortunately correct. It appears the issue was my Public IP and not my Firewall/Router. Hopefully this does not mean only one Benchmark Run per Public IP, that would be very annoying and quite impossible for those who do not work for their Local ISP. I'll continue to update.

It does appear that after every Benchmark test, I have to change my Public IP. I believe this has something to do with the Catzilla Program/Application either trying to automatically open the results page for your benchmark after the run, or with some Catzilla Backend issue that likely will not be fixed judging by the support/forum pages.

It's quite a shame to see this program and support degrade to dust, it's quite a nice Benchmark if it would work properly.

After testing a bit more, it seems that my Public IP is blocked the second I start the benchmark rather than at the end. I have another PC I'll test this on to see if it's just something to do with my build. I had a friend who lives near me and has the same ISP test this and he was able to run the test and still access the Catzilla Website and the Leaderboards on the Catzilla Application, so his IP was not blocked.

Another note to add is that due to these issues, I'm unable to upload any of my scores to the Catzilla leaderboards as it seems my IP is blocked the moment I start the Benchmark run.
